Still helmed by the same family that originally opened it in 1951, Rocco's offers authentic Southern Italian comfort food like pizza pies with freshly thrown dough, subs, pastas, and an array of appetizers. The homey diner is a popular haunt for Notre Dame students, who frequent the spot after football games for heavy-hitting standouts like cheesy garlic bread and the "supreme" pizza, which boasts house-made sausage.
